How much do you pay to send?
For most markets, we charge a small percentage of the exchange rate and no additional transfer fees. We work hard to offer the best daily exchange rates possible!
For certain countries, a small fixed fee is charged, regardless of the amount you send. There are no other hidden fees. You can check our website and select where you would like to send money to see how much your transfer costs.
Please note: Some mobile money providers may charge the recipient a small fee upon cashing out. We allow you to advance this fee in certain corridors. You can learn more here.
